KerEie, in charge OF the Mississippi
river improvements from Keokuk to
st. Paul, states that the number OF
passengers transported last year on
the upper river steamers, was 965, S03,
and that Mississippi river navigation
made differences to merchants, manu-
facturers and shippers in river cities
and places contiguous to the river, Of
nearly $4,000,000. That is, the rail
road charges were less by that smount
than they would have been without
river competition. The Dakots, Capt.

Self.Mutilation Of Grabs.

A letter from Paris records a very
curious and remarkable series of observa-
tions by two scientists upon the self
mutilation of crabs. If the extremity of
a limb be injured, or violent pain be
brought about, the limb is dropped by
the animal. The process is as follows:
The animal raises the limb until it rests
against the protruding edge of the shell
just overhead; then, by powerful con-
fractions of tho muscle which had raised
the limb, assisted by the counter muscle,
the limb is broken and drops off. The
reason for such spontaneous mutilation,
which must be very painful and wearing
upon the organism, appears to be in the
fact that when limbs are thus torn off
little if any bleeding follows, while, if a
limb be cut, profuse bleeding follows, to
the danger of the animals life. This
process has been observed to take place
in many kinds of crabs-indeed, almost
all species-some species of HOLSTERS,
and even in spiders and vcrtebrates.
